iTunes will not let me sync my Mail Accounts?

I have everything syncing thru iCloud however I like to manually sync my email accounts for the mail account settings. Especially since I'm getting my iPhone 4 replaced today, I wanted to sync them that way I'd have all of my email accounts in place.

The "sync mail accounts" option will allow you to sync the mail settings from your email client on your Mac/PC to the iPhone, it will not pull settings from the iPhone and allow you to write them onto the replacement. I'm reasonably certain that email settings are part of an iPhone backup so if you are backing up through iCloud or to the computer, when you restore the replacement from the backup of the original, the mail settings should be inputted.

I am also having the same issue. I have a new MacbookPro and even though I have wiped the phone completely and restore virgin software, set it up as a new phone, not connected to iCloud, it will not let me check the box Sync Mail Accounts.
